I don’t mean to hijack this thread but it confuses me about how the parking lot is opened and closed. If the booths are unmanned and the lot open for parking at the end of the evening, does someone come back and close the lot later. Past trips we often arrived very early from an overnight drive and found the booths unmanned and the lot open. Now I keep reading the lot will be closed when we arrive and we may be turned away until an hour before the park opens. Way back we were even family of the day once because we were the first ones there. I understand that has been discontinued and is a nonissue. I just want to park when I get there. So much has changed since previous trips precovid. I feel like I don’t even know how to arrive and park.
